I've recently become interested in Groovy because of its very cool language enhancements, and ease of use. One of the stated goals is to make 'writing concise meaningful maintainable code easier'. I first used it just to write some simple utility scripts, but it in the future I hope to write some full applications (swing and web based) using it to see just how productive it can be.

To get started, I bought the Groovy in Action book. This is very well written and was easy to work through, and covered so much information I think I'll be going back through it many times.

If you are interested in Groovy, then you should have a look at these resources:

As I was working through the book, I wrote my own sample code to test out the new language features and to help get a grasp on the new syntax. In case you are interested, I've included this code below:
